Experienced students who volunteer to support you!
The purpose of the Peer Mentoring Scheme is to provide additional support to students. Throughout 2010-11, the Student Liaison Officers operated a small-scale peer mentoring pilot scheme which consisted of 56 trained volunteers who successfully mentored 59 students. Due to the hard work and commitment of our student volunteers (peer mentors), we are able to expand the peer mentoring scheme for the forthcoming academic year, 2011-12. The peer mentoring scheme continues to focus on helping new students who require assistance in their first year of study. However, the scheme is also available to existing students who feel they could benefit from peer support.
The aims of the Peer Mentoring Scheme are to:
-
enable mentees (students who request support) to benefit from study skills support and personal support
-
enable peer mentors (students who volunteer to help) to increase their employability skills and enhance their C.Vs
